They were very understanding and talked me through the whole process. On the day of the job, they called me and told me what they would be completing. They called me back later when they had an issue (one with my house, not an issue they created) they did have to enter my home, and they left it very clean! I couldn't have asked for anything else from this group of guys, we got every single question answered from start to finish. They explained it in terms I understood and have called me every single time I needed it. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone! Also, a plus is the quote was very reasonable compared to others we had received!

Bam contacted me very quickly folloring my initial inquiry through Yelp. TJ came out and told us…read moreour problem wasn't with our foundation. Moisture in our breaker box was through a hole in our siding where a ground wire is located. TJ pulled out our breaker box, showed us where the moissture is coming in from and advised us on doing the minor repair. Friendly, professional, and thorough, TJ is an excellent representative from BAM. If we are unfortunate enough to experience foundation problems in the future, our one and only call will be to BAM.

Unfortunately the only way to waterproof, according to this company, is inside the basement. I didn't know this as I'm not from an area that normally has basements. I did appreciate him explaining everything to me and at least I'll know what to do if/when I have a water issue in the basement.

They were the lowest bid and are not as big as some of the other companies I got quotes from. I usually steer away from smaller companies or mom and pop operations. I'm glad I chose them their Service , Quality and Value of work put the rest of the companies to shame. Not to mention it was right after the Greenfield tornado and one of the owners was working with us and helping a family get back on their feet from Greenfield. Thats called integrity . We will be using them at all of our properties. Do yourself a favor and call them if you need Asphalt.

I'd like to give a big shout out to Economic Concrete! One of my trusted neighbors provided me this…read morereferral after I had a terrible experience with another concrete company. Gino and his crew of eight men were professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and extremely responsive not to mention competitive. They were wonderful to work with and Gino fulfilled the contract doing absolutely everything he said they'd do. I was impressed with the teams dedication to make sure I was happy with all of the work. I also sensed a great team effort as well as the respect Gino had for his crew and them for him. That can often make a big difference in how a job turns out in my opinion. I've been a realtor for nearly 27 years... literally the best concrete company I've ever had the opportunity to work with. I consider Gino and his crew to be very trustworthy and I greatly appreciated their consistent communication and the effort they made to leave my property in impeccable condition prior to their departure. You can reach him at 515-943-3085. You won't be disappointed. I'm so happy to be able to pass this family owned company's information on.

Stapes Concrete put in a driveway and sidewalk in the St Charle's / St Mary's area. Huge patches of…read morethe surface crumbled away to gravel. It looks horrible. Without ever coming out to look at it, Stapes immediatly rejected all responsibility, claiming it was 100% my fault for using completely normal amounts of salt to melt ice off my concrete. I paid for a professional assessment of my concrete. The inspector brought pictures back to the leading concrete manufacturer in the area (who reportedly won't do business with Stapes, apparently because of "past issues"). Both agreed that Stapes had either poured indoor concrete or he had used an excessive amount of water to work the surface. Of note, interior concrete could have been slightly less expensive for Stapes, and it does take some time to disintegrate when poured outdoors. I may never know for sure because Stapes will not disclose the mix ticket to me. After getting nowhere with Stapes, I posted a negative Google review. Stapes publicly expressed concern and asked me to contact customer service to prioritize an inspection, as if he was suddenly surprised about all of this. I did so, mostly to be able to say that I had complied. I received automated email and text responses. I responded many times to those contacts, but 20 days later I still have nothing but silence from Stapes. The grading job Stapes did before pouring the sidewalk has dropped, causing damage to the retaining wall and steps, and causing water to back up inches deep on my sidewalk. I was concerned at the time of the job but he assured me the pile of rocks he had placed at the end of the sidewalk would totally keep everything stable even thought it was at the top of a steep dropoff. It didn't. Stapes didn't even pour the driveway in the right place. He cut a full 3 feet off of the agreed upon width, about 60 square feet of concrete that he just "oops" didn't pour, making the driveway much too narrow. Stapes has repeatedly used the term "fair price for repair". He wants me to pay about $3,000 to have his mess fixed. That is what Stapes considers "fair price" for apparently pouring the wrong concrete, pouring it in the wrong place, and for creating an unstable grade. While on the phone with me, Stapes admitted that another customer had experienced similar damage, trying to get me to see that this was a common thing to happen and it was all my fault for using salt. Stapes appeared to have successfully convinced this other customer that it was all their fault because of salt. I wonder if Stapes got paid to fix that mess. The mugshot of Kris Stapes is from his arrest and conviction for insurance fraud related to his concrete business. Images and reports of the arrest have rapidly been evaporating off the web in the last few weeks, but there is an archival copy of the official Iowa Insurance Division report here. if you want to dee the videos and images, checkout https://StapesConcrete.info for all the info!

He ran equipment, performed subgrade prep, and finished concrete at this company where he realized the importance of local, quality work. That's what drove him to start his own business. Kris started Stapes Concrete and Grading in late 2009 because he had a vision of a better way to do this type of work, focusing on quality over the volume of projects. It has grown tremendously, going from one truck and one skid loader to four trucks, four skid loaders, an excavator, a roller, and more. He's turned it into a family-ran, thriving business dedicated to performing high-quality work.
